    A hybrid genre of storytelling that makes sense in today's digital world

    As a viewer, the thrilling part of experiencing this film is trying to ascertain where the line of reality begins and where the fiction ends. Particularly when many players in the fetish scene make cameo appearances and footage from the annual Las Vegas sex expo is integrated into the story. "These characters are kind of ourselves, or like the dark sides of ourselves" explains Shaw. "Even these fictionalised versions of ourselves come from some place of truth and I've just greatly blown it up for dramatic effect"

    Almost as bad as it gets but not quite

    2 stars because it does show a little (very little) into this fetish. Horrible plot that took about 15 minutes into the film to see where it was going.

    Ms. Lynch should stick to cam shows and phone sex role plays, because this is played out horribly via a movie/documentary or whatever you want to call it.

    While everybody has different tastes in movies, it's easy to see 10 star reviews for a movie I find borderline unwatchable. However, there simply is no way in this world that all of the 5 star reviews are legitimate.

    Only part that made you think is when Ceara was talking about using men/financial domination and she even makes the point that she is not sure she is really using the men since they are getting what they want and basically telling her what to do and then paying her for that service, so maybe she is the one getting used.

    Of course that is pretty much how everything sexual works when two (or more) consenting adults are involved, so nothing mind blowing. And there is nothing riveting where the lines are blurred between reality and fiction. It's painfully obvious.

    Neither a documentary nor a mockumentary

    Well, at least the Catfish film was well crafted even if it was BS.

    Pretty much knew this was fake straight off but other obvious tells. So, the bill for bottle service in Vegas like almost matches the funds raised to the dollar? (If there really was a kickstarter)

    Also, don't cast someone recognizable as the poor 'schmuck' who was scared of her ruining his life. This guy was married to Shannon Elizabeth from American Pie.

    Also, why are these other women in the industry say she's psycho on film. Makes no sense.

    An erotic thriller you won't forget!

    This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I originally wished to watch it as I am a fan of Ceara Lynch. What I found was an immersive experience that really keeps you guessing.

    I don't want to give away any spoilers but the screenplay in this movie is amazing. Every time you think you know what will happen next the movie mind screws you. The acting is top knotch as well. Ceara is of course beautiful and a natural actor. Julian really went above and beyond and proved his ability not only as a screenwriter/filmmaker but a talented actor. Even the supporting cast was much more convincing than so much of the "talent" big budget movies offer these days.

    Even if you're not a fan of the main stars this movie is well worth a watch, it's a brilliant piece that everyone should experience.

    Decent flick

    Ciara and Julian take us through a fun journey through findom from the eyes of the talent. Eye opening, insightful film about the dangers adult performers can face when the fantasy goes too far.
